Description: Up for bid is the entire series Rising Stars: Bright (2003) Issues #1-3. Rising Stars is a comic book limited series by J. Michael Straczynski about 113 people (called "Specials") born with special abilities following the appearance of a mysterious light in the sky above Pederson, Illinois. Rising Stars was one of the first comics produced under Straczynski's own Joe's Comics imprint for Top Cow Productions.One of the Specials is Matthew Bright, a police officer with the powers of flight, super-strength and speed, and near-invulnerability. He is perhaps the strongest of the Specials. At first he hid his identity as a Special so as to join the police. After a series of bombings, he is exposed and the Federal Government revokes his badge as Specials are not allowed to participate in any form of government department. His fellow officers then name him a 'special' deputy rank and supply a new badge and uniform. Being the only one of the Specials with legal power and authority, he is often used by the government as a means of controlling or observing conflict relating to other Specials. As stated above, this auction is for the complete limited series Rising Stars: Bright (2003) Issues #1-3.
